Are my seedlings going to be okay?

I planted some sweetpea seeds a couple of weeks ago and the seedlings have shot up about 10 inches already - will they be okay?

Are my seedlings going to be okay?
Assuming they are indoors or in a frost-free greenhouse ...... they are just fine. Give each one a 3ft garden cane to grow up and secure them loosely - they do get tangled together easily if left. Wind them loosley around each cane and secure them with Sweet Pea rings or velcro and they will grow away nicely! Wait until the last risk of frost has passed (which could be .....er, no idea - it's meant to SNOW at Easter) before you plant them out. They are fine, Good Luck :-)
Reply:yes they should be fine, I would put a plastic dome over them in case it does snow
Reply:As long as you keep watering them and giving them sun they should be fine...
Reply:They have probably overgrown, need hardening off
Reply:Put them in a cold frame or unheated green house to harden them up.
